What’s in a name? A good spouse, apparently.

Check out this Time Magazine post about an unscientific, but still fun and buzz-worthy, study about names most associated with being a good spouse.

The website Siteopia.com surveyed 2,000 people about names they associated with being good spouses. Lucky for me, my spouse’s name, James, made the list. My name, Tracy, was not there. Sorry, Jim. The best spouses, according to the survey, are Katie and David. Right?

No! I know people of color with some of the names listed. There is no reason to play the race card on this. Besides . . . I’m white, and my name is not listed there. Don’t feel bad if your name is not listed either.

Traditional names were likely cited because people know of good spouses currently with these names – perhaps grandparents or their own parents or maybe those who responded are married to someone steady and secure. With the fancy names that boys and girls have today, I can’t help but wonder what it will be like when all of the “Coltons” and “Makynzies” of the world take over –
